We'll be waiting a long time before we get the chance to vote for a left wing PM again. Surely in Scotland you and I could be voting for a (potentially) left wing PM as soon as we are independent? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I've been on thousands of train journeys and can only think of a handful of times when I've been annoyed by drunken arseholes. Besides, having a few cans on the table helps you keep it to yourself, whether you're drinking them or not. Gauging freedoms by the ability of the lowest common denominator to cope with them is an awful idea.

Stellaboz Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I also enjoy a longer train ride playing FM on the laptop with a few cans, did that regularly when I had to go to Amsterdam couple of years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just back from a trip up to the doctor, noticed a hereby florist open. Can’t imagine that being essential retail. There's a fuckload of folk in hospital that still need flowers, you monster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 18 minutes ago, MixuFruit said: I don't take much comfort from someone getting arrested after they've ruined my day. Only a few years ago Scotrail had to strike to avoid them dispensing with guards. Booze on trains can get to f**k. It's illegal to booze on coaches to sporting events. Your problem isn't with booze in any case, it's groups of people. A group of bams on the train are still likely to "ruin your day" whether they're pissed up or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The first travel company to state that you will need to have had both Covid jabs to travel with them.

Or was that just saying the guards would stop you getting on and call the BTP if you kicked off? https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/13138576.drink-fuelled-train-crime-down-one-third-since-ban-on-alcohol/ Aye so basically (unless its some mad railway bye-law) there’s no actual law against it, there are laws about being drunk and incapable in a public place, but if someones on a train surely its better to be moving them home than falling asleep in the city centre etc. But as with any public transport the conductor/driver can say ‘aye youre no getting on’ if the person is being a nuisance or causing bother, if the person refuses to leave the train or bus then the police can assist in the removal to prevent a breach of the peace etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 As expected the French winter ski season is done before its started. We are moving all our guests to 2022 or offering refunds, which seems to be all i've done now for a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the same public/ p&bers who demand the lifting of restriction are calling the government murderers over the death rate ( care homes not withstanding) To be fair, there's a section of the public that are in outrage right now about lockdowns & damage to the economy and others wanting restrictions eased immediately. And that's with hindsight and a death toll of nearly 100,000 in the UK. They are only a small number overall as can be seen from the various polls showing fairly broad support for restrictions, but they make a lot of noise and they definitely fall into the category of people who think if you shout loud enough and repeat it, it becomes fact. Do you think in five years time, if Covid-19 is pretty much eradicated and another virus emerges in a similar way, the Gov & general public will be much more cautious, or will it again just be the public health experts who are the only people willing to overreact just in case? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s byelaw 4 of the Transport Act 2000. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
